The ICE Breaker Act of 2026 aims to enhance police accountability and trust by barring former ICE agents from local law enforcement, sparking debate over recruitment challenges.
- A proposed bill in the Maryland General Assembly, the ICE Breaker Act of 2026, aims to bar former ICE employees from joining local law enforcement, with Worcester County Sheriff Matt Crisafulli questioning, `Tell me where that makes sense? Because I don't believe it does`.

- The Minneapolis killing prompted protests and hotel shutdowns amid safety concerns, while the Pentagon ordered roughly 1,500 active‑duty troops to remain on standby in Minnesota.
- Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York said Democrats are divided over ICE funding, with a DHS funding bill requiring 60 Senate votes and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said Sunday the city will not take the bait.
